Check the Members Websites for information and photographs. Individuals have posted a variety of useful information and some great pictures on their sites........ours isn't exactly pretty but is educational I hope! 

Color?  (They come in Black, Red and Dun.)

Horned, Dehorned or Polled?

Chondrodysplasia  Carrier,  Chondrodysplasia  Non-Carrier? PHA status?

Educate yourself on these two genetic disorders (Chondrodysplasia and PHA) in the Breed so you can make informed choices in your breeding program.

What age group are you wanting to start with?

Weanlings?

Bred Heifers?

Cow/calf pair?

Cow in milk and trained to milk? ….Very hard to find!

Bull?

Steers?

Breeding choices: Natural service Bull or Artificial Insemination?

Disposition? (I’d never consider an aggressive animal!)

Halter trained?

If you only want one female and you start with a heifer, consider a steer as a companion…cheaper to buy and you can butcher it for yourself or sell the carcass when your female has her calf and produces her own “company”.
